Hi David, Guenter,
... older part of the conversation deleted.
The drivers in http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/drivers/ are all snapshots of the respective upstream driver at some point in time, to which I added some compatibility glue so that it build for a range of older kernels. I update them manually as my time permits and needs arise, which means that they are all lagging behind most of the time, by construct. For example, "my" w83795 driver is currently based on the upstream driver from kernel 2.6.36.1 (doh, this is so old) with enough compatibility glue to work with kernels down to 2.6.27. In most cases, this shouldn't be a problem, because if you're running a very recent kernel, you shouldn't need to use a standalone driver in the first place, the upstream driver should work just fine. Which brings a question to David: why are you not just using the driver which comes with your kernel?
I should have thought of that earlier.
In the case of the w83795 driver I admit it is about time to remove all the dust because it's indeed very old...
So lets try it now: Rebooted and "sensors" did not show the proper details, as usual. I used sensors-detect and the I2C/SMBus Adapter detection found SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 (i2c-0) which found Nuvoton W83795G/ADG I said yes to adding lines to /etc/modules and ran "service kmod start" as sensors detect started and sensors worked right. Rebooted again. And now I get sensors working properly automatically on reboot. Yay! Thanks again.
